OK, I see it now. Bowersox ends at West Schwartz but there is a paper street that extends past West Schwartz. This is part of the property that was used as a cart path enroute from the infamous wall/gate to Lowe's. There's a vacant lot on West Schwartz and I've often wondered why there was no house built on it. That lot was one of the alternate routes suggested when the wall was put up. I believe that it was owned by the same guy that owned the property where the new assisted living facility was built. This looks like it might be all of the land surrounding the new assisted living facility.

but what if you were to buy a few manufactured homes, done already on schwartz, and make there land into a road/entrance, and build a few millions worth of homes on that 20 acres.

You just never know.....the future will tell

Yes, that looks like the Browns property.
Wonder who owns current the trail to Lowes ?

Am I correct to GUESS that a new neighborhood there could put an end to the "Ho Chi Minh Trail"?

A whole new thread to be born!!!! ;)

I'm curious where you got this tidbit of information. If it is online, could you share the link, please?

Looking at Google Earth, there are a couple of houses back there. One looks like it's a mansion that could be worth two or three million. The other looks like a possibly a guest house. Are those the Brown residences? The thing is that there is no road going in there. I'm thinking one of those homes is 900 Bowersox.

Thanks, Sista.

There are roads. There are dirt roads going in to the homes.

Maybe they use the golf cart path? :22yikes: :lipsrsealed:

Here you can see the area we're discussing. Like I said, Bowersox loops around and begins and ends on West Schwartz. Across from Bowersox on West Schwartz is the vacant lot and then the area of 20 acres that was just sold.

Here's a closeup of the two homes.

If an existing home has to be demolished, I'd prefer it to be replaced with a new manufactured home.

Or maybe it's mostly the stucco houses I object to. At any rate, it's a mild preference. What type of houses are built actually rates pretty low on my life's excitement-o-meter. :)

The Ho Chi Minh Trail was gone once the new assisted living facility opened. I think it's still there, but it's no longer used.

Yes, there is a dirt road that runs out of the side of the assisted living facility. It looks like it connects to their parking lot and runs down the south side of the building.
